It's hard to imagine people being mad at Paul for taking the temptation, as I don't think any of them would turn down 3 weeks immunity to being on the block. I think they will all have to admit that they would have taken it too.

What's with those belts they're wearing around their stomachs? I've noticed them in multiple competitions. Are they all wearing them, some under their shirts?

It's off-putting, which is why most of christianity doesn't do it.

STAC Goat posted:In general, as a religious person, I always tend to think that when religions get weird like that its often either them kind of trying to get insular and set up a dick measuring contest of how religious you are (which is a definite vibe I get off Dom) or its people losing their foot in "this world" and focusing way too much on "the next one." “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly". The impression I get of Dominique is that she wants everyone to be impressed with how religious she is.

I have no idea what's going on in the house, as I don't watch the live feeds. But, if I were Jessica, I'd go around and ask every person in the house who they think I should put up, as a way of trying to create cracks in the big alliance that is against them. If asked the right way, I think some of them for sure would give an answer.

This was the perfect time for Jessica to announce to the house that she won the temptation. If not, she and Cody would have gone up for sure. But now, there's a very good chance that Paul won't put them up. He's smart enough to figure out that she's telling the truth about the temptation, and he's exactly the sort of person who wouldn't want to waste his HOH.

Why does Josh keep calling Cody and Jessica "meatballs"? The word doesn't seem to apply to Jessica at all.

Mahoning posted:Jess is SO loving SALTY that Paul didn't buy her cryptic bullshit and she's gotta burn the Hex this early. She's a dumbass. She should have told Paul exactly what her power was, and he would have believed her, and not put her up, so as not to waste his HOH. By being so vague about her power, nobody knew what to think.

Those conversations between Jessica and Cody made me like Jessica for the first time. I loved her speech where she says, "I don't want to be with a hothead who gets into fistfights". Cody's dimwitted "I AM ALPHA MALE ME DOMINATE LESSER MEN" attitude has run into the brick wall of the reality of the Big Brother game as he's failed utterly and realized he has no chance of winning. So we finally get Cody facing who he is, which is the guy who can't keep a girlfriend and isn't close to his family or friends because he's a huge dick. I liked seeing a more human side of Jessica instead of her usual Queen Bitch persona, but I doubt she has enough self awareness to have learned anything from any of this.

There's something I've noticed multiple times regarding Jessica and Cody. Somebody will be making a joke or something will happen that will make Jessica laugh. Because she's next to Cody, you see him, staring stone faced like a statue every time. Does he seem to have normal human emotions on the live feeds?

Why is Josh so dead set on getting out Elena, when Cody and Jessica are vastly more likely to win competitions and the two of them both fought with Josh and tried to get him out of the house? It seems an odd choice for him.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Paul is the king of the house. Nobody can target him. Yep, that was funny watching everyone too intimidated to put him up. Paul is utterly dominating this game. I figured at some point someone would take a shot at him, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I assume Paul will drag stupid Josh to the end with him, and then get all the votes.

Twin Cinema posted:With Jody eliminated, I am realizing what I feared -- there's no one in the house that I am actually cheering for to win. Kevin is funny, but he doesn't have the same underdog appeal that Donny did. I think, just by process of elimination, I am reluctantly cheering for Christmas. From watching only the episodes, it seems like Paul is the obvious winner of this season, unless someone clues in to what he's doing. I'm cheering for Paul to win, as he seems to be smarter and playing the game harder than everyone else put together.

STAC Goat posted:Paul's going to make it to F5 or 4. That's been obvious for awhile. Thats when things are going to get tricky and he'll probably have to pull off some key wins or else he gets booted out like Vanessa or so many other big threats who only got so far. If Paul makes it to the final 4 with Raven, Josh, and Christmas, he'll likely win every competition afterwards. Raven and Josh are dumb, Christmas isn't even allowed to compete most of the time.

So let me see if I can guess Paul's plan at this point. (I don't watch the feeds, but I doubt he's fully explained it to anyone anyway) He wants to take out Jason this week, then Alex, then Kevin, and then probably Raven, leaving himself, Christmas, and Josh at the end. He wants to win the next HOH, because he can't win at 5 people left anyway. He can't win at 5 because he knows he has to win at 4 or he will probably go home. He also will have to win at 3 or no one will probably take him to the end. He's done a good job getting himself this far, and he's positioning himself to be left at the end with only people who aren't good at competitions. What I'm not sure of is if he would want to somehow sneak Kevin into the final 3 against him and Christmas instead of Josh. Kevin never comes close to winning anything. I'm guessing no, because I don't think Paul has any real influence over Kevin, whereas he probably thinks he might be able to influence Raven to keep him if she somehow won HOH at 4.

Fast Luck posted:The only real risk to Paul right now is that he's prioritizing taking out blindly loyal followers like Alex and Raven over people like Kevin and Josh who are starting to get wary of him, but by the same token that may just allow Paul to win out on the comps. Right, I don't think he has a choice. No matter how loyal people are during the early or midgame, once you get to the end everyone is looking at the money and trying to figure out who they can beat in a final vote. Nobody wants to sit next to Paul in a final 2, and he knows that, so once they're down to 4 people, Paul has to be able to beat everyone that's left in competitions.

Once again, Paul dominates the game. And his plan worked flawlessly. Instead of putting up 2 people out of Paul, Christmas, and Josh, Alex puts up the two weakest most pointless people in the house, and I'm sure Paul had a hand in that. And Alex never for a second considered putting Paul up. Paul can now go back to Josh and Christmas and tell them that everything they did worked exactly as expected, even in the worst case scenario of Alex winning, Paul made sure none of them went home. At this point I do not think Josh will target Paul if he wins. Alex is too big a competition threat, and Christmas is going to be ordering him to take Alex out. With Alex probably gone, that will leave Paul, Christmas, Josh, and Kevin. They will all supposedly be targeting Kevin, but Paul probably takes Josh out if he can, leaving just him and two people who can't beat him at challenges. Of course, Paul may have a hell of a problem with a bitter jury.

STAC Goat posted:That episode was a testament to the sheer power of will. Paul wasn't masterminding, manipulating, or puppeting anyone. He was just being a big enough stubborn rear end in a top hat that no matter how much Josh didn't like his plans or Alex was kind of uncomfortable with the idea of things they just went along with it because it was the best option available. Since Paul doesn't listen to anyone or consider their thoughts as equal to his it means you either go along with his plan that doesn't target you or your allies or you create a situation that could blow up in your face. Not only has Paul managed to dominate the house while convincing everyone there that other people are the real threats, he's also managed to convince the live feed watchers that he's not really in charge. He just somehow coincidentally has ended up with everyone in the house believing he's on their side and with no one ever putting him in the block.

ToastyPotato posted:It's actually been thoroughly explained how he got this far and how it probably wouldn't work in other seasons but people who apparently don't want to watch what happens in the house have themselves convinced Paul is literally a wizard. To me, it's like you're saying, "Bob didn't drive his car to California. He just pushed the gas pedal and the brakes and turned the steering wheel at convenient times, and luckily for him it turned out this took him where he wanted to go". Paul has successfully convinced everyone in the house that he's their ally and that he's been working with them the entire time and is on their side. They trust him to the point where they throw competitions when he tells them to and where they never put him on the block. This is not an easy thing to do. Mediocre players try to make alliances with lots of people all the time, and get caught and then no one trusts them. The game that he's playing requires him (probably) to win HOH/veto at the final 4 people and then again at the final 3, and so, what a surprise, Paul is going to the end with Christmas and Kevin who are very unlikely to win anything, and Josh who won't be allowed to play in the next HOH. It's not an accident that Josh won't be allowed to play in the final 4 HOH, Paul specifically set the situation up so he couldn't. If he's not running the house then I'm not sure what running the house is.

It makes absolutely no difference who the HOH puts on the block when you're down to 4 people. Whoever wins the veto decides who's on the block and who goes home.
